South Coast / Dar es Salaam

The southern Tanzanian coast contains some enticing and unusual holiday spots that offer a refreshing alternative to Zanzibar. Stunning beaches and close proximity to the azure waters of the Indian ocean are a consistent theme.

Although we feel the capital Dar es Salaam doesn’t hold great interest as a destination itself, with the airport being the hub for international flights it does make an ideal stop-over. There isn’t a huge variety of accommodation to choose from, but we have two favourites we would recommend, should your itinerary include a stay in Dar.
